About this opportunity

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA) is seeking a Third Party Leave Administrator through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 745-26-P01 to support its growing workforce of approximately 8,500 employees. The procurement aims to secure a vendor to administer comprehensive medical and non-medical leave services, including Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Military Leave, Worker's Compensation, Short-Term/Long-Term Disability, Parental Leave, Paid Family Leave, and ADA Accommodation requests. Key objectives include creating a seamless user experience, reducing administrative tracking burdens, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements while maintaining UTHSA's final decision-making authority. Proposers must demonstrate at least three years of continuous leave administration experience and will be evaluated on criteria including cost, service quality, reputation, ability to meet university needs, and past relationship. The solicitation was issued on July 29, 2025, with questions closing on September 2, 2025, at 3:00 PM CST and final proposals due on September 16, 2025, at 3:00 PM CST through the Euna Procurement Portal.

The procurement includes a Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) Subcontracting Plan with a 26% HUB participation goal, requiring proposers to demonstrate good faith efforts in subcontracting with Texas-certified HUB vendors. Proposers must complete comprehensive documentation, including an Information Security Initial Security Posture Assessment, TX-RAMP cloud computing certification compliance, and a Policy Driven Adoption for Accessibility (PDAA) self-assessment. The initial contract term is three years with options for two additional one-year renewals. While the RFP does not specify a precise award value, it emphasizes that UTHSA does not guarantee any specific compensation or service volume. The solicitation requires vendors to have robust information security practices, HIPAA compliance capabilities, and the ability to handle sensitive employee data. Potential vendors must also comply with multiple state-specific certifications, including non-discrimination policies and various ethical standards. The university reserves the right to award the contract to the most advantageous proposal and may invite select vendors for presentations after an initial evaluation.
